Teaching Swimming
Learn teaching techniques to work with students who move, learn, communicate, and behave differently.
Learn to teach the basic fundamentals of the strokes to your students with emphasis on rotary breathing before arms to help form the natural movement of rolling over onto the back.
Work with students as young as 6 months old to learn drowning prevention skills, emphasizing water safety with parents.
Work with students who are strong swimmers fine tune their diving and treading skills.
Ages 3-5 years learn water safety and drowning prevention using the curriculum provided to help them understand water safety.
Learning to jump into water and get into a back float is one of the primary skills taught. Comfort on the back provides a gateway to many other swimming skills.
We are actively working on restoring our swim lesson program! Thank you for your interest!
